Abstract
CLIMEX, a climate-matching model, is described in relation to pesk risk assessment. The rationale for the development of the model is given and its various functions are illustrated with examples using the chrysomelid Leptinotarsa decemlineata. The chrysomelid's climatic requirements were inferred from its native distribution in North America and used to project the relative favourableness of Europe and Asia for population growth and persistence. The role of CLIMEX, in association with a prototype version of a generic expert system for pest risk assessment, PESKY, in the assessment of the risk of L. decemlineata being transferred from France to China, is illustrated. Finally, the model was used to search for places in North America with climates matching that of Beijing, China, in order to target collection of possible biocontrol agents for use in China
